interim U.S. Attorney, citing

The district’s chief judge argued the Attorney General did not have authority to make a second 120-day appointment. Accordingly, the court entered an order naming someone else as interim U.S. Attorney, citing Section 546(d). The executive branch disagreed with this view and on January 9, 2006, sent a letter to the court’s appointee purporting to remove him from the role. The President then made a recess appointment of the Attorney General’s pick, effectively resolving the controversy. (The Supreme Court has held that a valid appointment has the effect of removing an office’s prior occupant.) หนังใหม่2025
